Subject: Urgent and confidential from Chris Eke
Dear Friend
Greetings to you, and Please may I request you
excercise patience to go through my letter with out been offended.
I got your contact through international profile during my search for a
reputable person that I can trust that will help me transfer and invest
my fund.
I am Mr Chris Eke, a native of Ndoni in the Niger Delta region of
Nigeria, I am the first son of Chief Waribo Eke, the traditional ruler
of our land .
My father was killed in a communual fight with the
neighbouring warri millitant youths over oil and
royalties. He had so many enemies including our head
of state Olusegun Obasanjo because he has been out
spoken and has always been in the fore front of those
clamouring for the development of the Niger Delta
area with oil wealth derived from our state.
Because of this his death was celebrated by those in government
because his elimination meant no much troubles from
him and his people as he was their head and their
spiritual custodian.
My mother who has been sick over some years made a
revelation to me on her sick bed, she told me of
monies and some documents hidden in an underground
cellar in our country home, I immediately travelled
and found the documents to be deeds of deposit usd$32,000,000 (thirty
two million united states dollars) madeby my late father with a security
company where hedeposited some money in disguise.
This money happens to be royalties paid to my father as the head of an
oil rich clan by expatriate minning companies like Shellpetroleum,Texaco
Overseas etc over years.
No one knows of the existence of the money and where
it is except myself and my mother.I will give you more
information on your expected role as soon as I
receieve a confirmatory email or your willingness to
assist me transfer this money out of Nigeria.
I propose 20% of the money to you while 75% will be
for my investment purposes abroad and 5% will be for
expences incured in the process of this business.
Regards.
Mr Chris Eke
